Applications Laser cutting

Laser cutting is now more effective and easier than ever before. Due to their compact design and high degree of flexibility, the ACSYS laser cutting centers are in a class of their own and are setting new benchmarks. On this page you can see a wide variety of  laser cutting applications.

The examples on this page are divided into:

• Laser burn cutting
• Laser fusion cutting
• Laser-remote-cutting

There are various methods of laser cutting which will be explained in detail here.

For further information please see our laser compendium.

Oxygen is used as the cutting gas for laser burn cutting. During the separation process, the oxygen introduces additional heat into the workpiece due to the localized oxidation of the basic material in the cutting joint, thereby accelerating the cutting process. Laser burn cutting is ideally suited for manufacturing parts quickly and efficiently, whose visual appearance will continue to change due to subsequent surface finishing processes.

Laser fusion cutting has the advantage of producing a virtually oxide-free cutting edge. The cutting gas is an inert gas. Inert gas blows the molten material out of the separating joint and cools the cutting edge. Laser fusion cutting is used if workpieces must fulfill high visual requirements without further processing. If subsequent alterations of the material are unwanted, then hygiene and laboratory engineering aspects must also be taken into consideration.

Laser remote cutting (sublimation cutting) is the term used for laser cutting of very thin and sensitive materials that are cut without cutting gases. The laser alone vaporizes the material and creates the very fine cutting gap by removing layers of material. This process offers unique solutions for the processing of various composite materials.
